Abstract
An athletic glove with enhanced tensioning is provided. The glove comprises a palm-side portion and a back portion connected to form four finger sheaths, a thumb sheath, and an opening capable of receiving a human hand. A keyhole cutout is located along the opening at a location corresponding to the back of a user's hand. A tension-adjusting wrist strap is attached to the glove on a first side of the keyhole adjacent to the opening. The wrist strap extends across the keyhole and is detachably affixable to a second side of the keyhole adjacent to the opening. The wrist strap may be used to adjust the tension across the palm-side portion by adjusting where the strap is detachably affixed. The wrist strap connects to the palm-side portion at an angle to optimize the distribution of tensioning force to reduce bunching in the palm-side portion and provide enhanced gripping.
Description
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- The present invention relates to athletic gloves. More particularly, the present invention relates to an athletic glove that provides an enhanced gripping experience by reducing bunching of the glove through a novel tensioning system.
- Both professional and amateur athletes often wear athletic gloves to enhance gripping. In football, for example, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, and others whose performance depends upon the ability to effectively grip the football often wear gloves to enhance their grip on the football. Conventional athletic gloves are typically designed with a tensioning strap that extends across a keyhole cutout located along the side of the glove near the wrist of a user when the glove is worn. The tensioning strap is typically attached to the edge of the glove near and perpendicular to the keyhole. When such a tensioning strap is tightened, tensioning force is only distributed to the portion of the glove immediately adjacent to the keyhole, and the tensioning force is applied almost entirely along the direction of the wrist. Bunching of the palm portion of the glove can occur as a result.
- This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to an athletic glove with enhanced tensioning across the palm. The glove comprises a back portion and a palm-side portion. The palm-side portion is connected to the back portion to form four finger sheaths, a thumb sheath, and an opening capable of receiving a human hand. The opening is located opposite the four finger sheaths and corresponds approximately to the wrist of a user when the glove is worn by the user with fingers of the user extending within the four finger sheaths and the thumb of the user extending within the thumb sheath. A keyhole cutout is located along the opening at a location corresponding to the back of a user's hand. A tension-adjusting wrist strap is attached to the glove on a first side of the keyhole adjacent to the opening. The wrist strap extends across the keyhole to a second side of the keyhole and is detachably affixable to the second side of the keyhole adjacent to the opening.
- The wrist strap comprises a base portion attached to the glove on the first side adjacent to the keyhole. The base portion extends away from the keyhole along the opening to a location along the opening that corresponds to the palm side of the user's wrist. The wrist strap also comprises a tab portion extending from the base portion across the keyhole. The tab portion is detachably affixable to the glove on the second side along the opening such that when the tab portion of the wrist strap is detachably affixed, the tab portion lays across the keyhole. The wrist strap may be used to adjust the tension across the palm-side portion of the glove by adjusting where the tab portion is detachably affixed.
- The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a prior art athletic glove with tensioning strap illustrating the back portion of the glove with the wrist strap unaffixed; -

FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art conventionalathletic glove 10.Glove 10 comprises aback portion 12 and a palm-side portion 14 (partially visible). Palm-side portion 14 andback portion 12 are connected to form four finger sheaths, a thumb sheath, and an opening 16 capable of receiving a human hand. Keyholecutout 18 is located along theseam 19 whereback portion 12 and palm-side portion 14 are connected. This location corresponds to the side of a user's hand whenglove 10 is worn by the user. Keyhole 18 is also located along opening 16.Wrist strap 20 is attached along opening 16 adjacent tokeyhole 18, as shown more clearly inFIG. 2 . When the fit ofglove 10 is tightened usingwrist strap 20,wrist strap 20 extends acrosskeyhole 18 and affixes to glove 10.Wrist strap 20 is shown affixed inFIG. 2 . - With reference now to
FIG. 2 , prior art conventionalathletic glove 10 is shown from a side view.Wrist strap 20 is attached perpendicularly to palm-side portion 14. Palm-side portion 14 extends substantially straight down fromseam 19. In this configuration, when a tensioning force is applied towrist strap 20, the tensioning force is applied almost entirely alongforce vector 22. This tensioning force acts to tighten primarily the area of palm-side portion 14 along opening 16 and can result in bunching in the remainder of palm-side portion 14. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , anathletic glove 100 capable of receiving a human hand is shown.Glove 100 comprises aback portion 102 and a palm-side portion 104 (partially visible). Palm-side portion 104 is more clearly illustrated inFIG. 4 . Palm-side portion 104 andback portion 102 are connected to form fourfinger sheaths thumb sheath 114, and anopening 116 capable of receiving a human hand.Opening 116 is locatedopposite finger sheaths finger sheaths thumb sheath 114.Back portion 102 corresponds to the back of the user's hand, and palm-side portion 104 corresponds to the palm of the user's hand. Gussets or other additional pieces of material may bridge betweenback portion 102 and palm-side portion 104 to formglove 100. -
Keyhole cutout 118 is located along opening 116.Keyhole cutout 118 extends from opening 116 inwards towardfinger sheaths keyhole 118 is between approximately one-half and two inches in length as measured from opening 116 to the furthest extent ofkeyhole 118. The location ofkeyhole 118 along opening 116 corresponds to the back of the user's hand. In some embodiments,keyhole 118 is located closer to the center of the back of a user's hand than to either side. In other embodiments,keyhole 118 is located closer to either side than to the center of the back of a user's hand. - Tension-adjusting
wrist strap 120 is attached toglove 100 on afirst side 122 ofkeyhole 118 adjacent toopening 116.Wrist strap 120 is detachably affixable to asecond side 124 ofkeyhole 118 adjacent toopening 116. InFIG. 3 ,wrist strap 120 is detachably affixable with hook-and-loop connectors, withwrist strap 120 havingloop material 126 andback portion 102 ofglove 100 havinghook material 128. In other embodiments,wrist strap 120 is detachably affixable tosecond side 124 with snaps. Additional means of detachably affixingwrist strap 120 tosecond side 124 are contemplated, including buttons, hooks, clasps, adhesive, and instant bonding compounds. In some embodiments,wrist strap 120 is detachably affixable in a plurality of positions. -
Wrist strap 120 comprisesbase portion 130 andtab portion 132.Base portion 130 is attached toglove 100 onfirst side 122.Base portion 130 extends away fromkeyhole 118 along opening 116 to a location that corresponds to the palm side of the user's wrist, as shown inFIG. 4 .FIG. 4 illustrates palm-side portion 104 ofglove 100. In some embodiments, palm-side portion 104 is made of a grip-enhancing material such as rubber, synthetic leather, textured material, or other material. The extent ofbase portion 130 ofwrist strap 120 is shown aslocation 134.Location 134 corresponds to the palm-side of a user's wrist whenglove 100 is worn by a user as described above with regard toFIG. 3 . In some embodiments,base portion 130 extends farther along opening 116 such thatlocation 134 is closer to the center of palm-side portion 104 than shown inFIG. 4 . -
Base portion 130 andtab portion 132 ofwrist strap 120 are shown in greater detail inFIG. 5 .FIG. 5 shows a side view ofglove 100 worn by a user.Tab portion 132 ofwrist strap 120 is detachably affixed tosecond side 124 ofkeyhole 118. Whenwrist strap 120 is detachably affixed,tab portion 132 lays acrosskeyhole 118. The tension across palm-side portion 104 is increased or decreased by adjusting wheretab portion 132 detachably affixes tosecond side 124. Adjusting the affixation point from closer tokeyhole 118 to farther fromkeyhole 118 increases the tension on palm-side portion 104, while adjusting the affixation point from farther fromkeyhole 118 to closer to keyhole 118 decreases the tension on palm-side portion 104. In some embodiments,wrist strap 120, comprising bothbase portion 130 andtab portion 132, is one continuous piece of material. - In
FIG. 5 , palm-side portion 104 flares out as it approacheskeyhole 118 andbase portion 130.Base portion 130 is attached to palm-side portion 104. The connection betweenbase portion 130 and palm-side portion 104 forms an angle relative to a cross section of the user's wrist, as further illustrated inFIG. 6 . -
FIG. 6 shows a partial perspective view ofglove 100. Palm-side portion 104 is connected tobase portion 130 at anangle 136 relative to across section 138 of the user's wrist. In some embodiments,angle 136 measures between 10 and 80 degrees. Connecting palm-side portion 104 tobase portion 130 at an angle allows tensioning force to be applied alongforce vector 140 toward palm-side portion 104 rather than simply in the direction ofcross-section 138 as occurs in athletic gloves with conventional tensioning systems, such asprior art glove 10 ofFIGS. 1-2 . Application of force alongforce vector 140 reduces bunching that occurs in palm-side portion 104 by applying tensioning force to a greater area of palm-side portion 104 as compared to the area of palm-side portion 14 inFIG. 2 that receives tensioning force upon application offorce vector 22. Flaring of palm-side portion 104 further aids in optimal distribution of tensioning force toward palm-side portion 104 by providing a greater length of connection betweenbase portion 130 and palm-side portion 104. In contrast, palm-side portion 14 of conventionalprior art glove 10 inFIGS. 1-2 does not flare and only receives tensioning force perpendicularly over a small area alongopening 16. In some embodiments, palm-side portion 104 extends to keyhole 118, as shown inFIG. 7 . -
FIG. 7 is an exploded partial perspective view of palm-side portion 104 andback portion 102 aroundkeyhole 118. Palm-side portion 104 extends to keyhole 118.Base portion 130 is attached at least in part to palm-side portion 104. In some embodiments, palm-side portion 104 extends only to the edge ofbase portion 130. In other embodiments, palm-side portion 104 extends part way between the edge ofbase portion 130 andkeyhole 118. - The part of palm-
side portion 104 that extends from the palm side of a user's hand around the edge of the user's hand to the back of the user's hand and to keyhole 118, as shown inFIG. 7 , can be thought of as a wrap-around palm portion.FIGS. 8 and 9 further illustrate wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 ofglove 100.FIG. 8 showsglove 100 withbase portion 130 of wrist strap exploded out to illustrate more clearly the characteristics of wrap-aroundpalm portion 150. Wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 connects palm-side portion 104 to backportion 102 andkeyhole 118. Wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 and palm-side portion 104 are one continuous piece of material in some embodiments. As shown inFIG. 8 , wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 flares out and curves until it meetskeyhole 118. In other embodiments, the shape of wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 has a different geometry. In one embodiment, the connection between wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 andfirst side 122 is substantially straight rather than curved as is shown inFIG. 8 . -
FIG. 9 illustrates a similar view ofglove 100 with wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 ofglove 100 peeled back to more clearly show the additional palm material of wrap-aroundpalm portion 150. Wrap-aroundportion 150 is attached tofirst side 122 andkeyhole 118 as described in previous figures, and is shown “peeled” for purely explanatory purposes. In some embodiments, wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 ofglove 100 extends approximately one to one-and-one-half inches beyond the edge ofglove 100 when peeled back. The additional palm fabric of wrap-aroundpalm portion 150 is not found in conventional athletic gloves, such asglove 10 shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . - The present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments, which are intended in all respects to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from its scope.
- From the foregoing, it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all the ends and objects set forth above, together with other advantages which are obvious and inherent to the system and method. It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
